Water Jet Loom
Overview
Water jet looms are high-speed weaving machines that use a fine jet of water to insert the weft yarn through the warp shed. They are mainly used for weaving synthetic filament yarns such as polyester and nylon due to their smooth surface and water resistance.
Working Principle
A high-pressure water jet is used to carry the weft yarn across the warp shed.
Warp yarns are arranged longitudinally and opened to form a shed.
The weft yarn is inserted rapidly with the help of water flow.
Continuous weaving occurs with high efficiency and speed.
Types
Single Nozzle Water Jet Loom
Multi Nozzle Water Jet Loom
Automatic High-Speed Water Jet Loom
Textile Industry Applications
Polyester and nylon fabrics
Waterproof fabrics (raincoats, umbrellas)
Home furnishing fabrics
Technical textiles
Lightweight garment fabrics
